O ovoj e-knjizi
Jungle Tech Blossoms explores the surprising ways forest tribes around the world are using mobile technology. It argues that mobile phones, often seen as homogenizing forces, can actually empower indigenous communities. The book highlights how these technologies facilitate economic empowerment through direct trade and support cultural preservation by enabling the documentation and dissemination of traditions. For example, mobile banking allows tribes to bypass intermediaries, leading to fairer prices for their goods. The book uniquely emphasizes the agency of these communities, showcasing how they adapt and repurpose technology to their specific needs.
Moving from access and affordability to economic and cultural impacts, the book uses case studies from the Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Central Africa. It examines how mobile technology helps preserve languages and oral histories, while also addressing challenges like misinformation and the digital divide.
Ultimately, Jungle Tech Blossoms provides a nuanced perspective on technology's role in marginalized communities. By blending ethnographic fieldwork and statistical analysis, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, technology companies, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, social justice, and the future of tribal communities.
